This week we’re going to be leading a workshop for Dungeon Masters on creating settings, making locations, filling the map with fun and interesting places to visit. This is the Build-A-World Workshop! We’ve done this on the Bonus Action already, but now we’re here on the main pod to keep the good times rolling! This will be a LIVE experience. We may have an outline, but we will be randomly generating the tent poles keeping the circus tent up. So without further ado, get your cartographer’s supplies, open that anthropology text book, and let’s dive in!

This week we’re going to be taking a look at homebrewing your own monsters! As a Dungeon Master, there eventually come a time when the Monster Manual or even a 3rd Party book doesn’t meet the type of baddie you’re trying to evoke. Now, there’s altering an existing Monster or creating a brand new one. And where will we pull inspiration from? So put on your goggles and gloves, whip out that notebook, and let’s make some Monsters!

This week we’re going to be taking a look back at So You Wanna Be a DM. Episode 1 of the podcast was posted on December 18, 2023 and we introduced ourselves to the world. Since then, we have posted every single Wednesday nonstop. We’ve started a Twitch, produced several Actual Plays, fostered communities on social media and discord, and we’re just getting started! But today, let’s take a look at how far we’ve come. I’ve put together a collection of clips and videos for us to listen to and watch as we remember our journey to get here, to episode 100!

This week we’re going to be covering the 2024 Ranger. The class that easily got the most shit out of 2014 despite it often being the DM or Player’s fault… has gotten a glow up? Is it a glow up? We’re going to investigate. As always, these are our opinions but we’re going to take a look at what’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and if any of it is good or necessary. I’ve heard a lot of it has to do with Hunter’s Mark, so let’s jump right into it!

This week we’re going over Magical Curses and Diseases! Throughout D&D and the fantasy genre, there have been magical afflictions. In Game of Thrones, Jorah Mormont catches Greyscale, but luckily is one of the very few survivors. In Lord of the Rings, Frodo is poisoned by Shelob’s fangs and it’s why Sam thought he was dead. So get out your stethoscopes, open that copy of Grey’s Anatomy, and let’s get into it!

This week we’re locking in, focusing up, and getting all these water fowl in a row! That’s right, gang, this week we’re talking Optimization! What is it? How does it work? Is it an essential part of Dungeons & Dragons, just a possible way to play the game, or does it actively harm the good times and story of the table? Well, let’s talk about it!

This week we’re going to be revisiting the topic of Character Creation. We’ve discussed Species in ep 88, we’ve been discussing the character classes little by little, and we talked about Feats in ep 92. Along the way, we mentioned how the DM can help their players use these tools to create the characters they want to embody and play as. But how can they help Dungeon Masters? Whether it’s worldbuilding, tone setting, plot hooking, or just being a good DM, Character Creation gives us a lot we can work with.

This week we’re going to be covering the 2024 Paladin! The Collins Dictionary defines Paladin as 1 of 12 legendary peers of Charlemagne’s Court. But also as a “determined advocate or defender of a noble cause” and that feels right. You know the deal gang! We’ll go over the entire Paladin class and subclasses available in the 2024 Player’s Handbook. What’s changed, what’s stayed the same, and is it any good

This week we’re going to be doing something a little different, this episode is about the Players! In the long history of table top roleplaying games, there have always been players. They play the game afterall. But what makes a good player or a bad player? Is it all subjective or are there some objective truths out there for being a player at a ttrpg table? We’re going to explore some of the ways a player can help their DM, their fellow party members, and the overall story! So without further ado, let’s jump into it!

This week we’re going to be talking about finding inspiration. These days, unfortunately you’ll see videos and posts online about people using programs like ChatGPT and other large language models. And studies out of MIT have shown it decreases memory production and can lead to less engagement overall. But the thing is, instead of asking a bot to give you ideas, you can just use your own brain to interpret all the things around you. Here, we’ll show you how it’s done…
